I think Beardies are a great choice - they are easy to look after and can be handled as well...I really like monitors but they are definately a look and don't touch animal...
from what i've read and been told monitors are mostly look but don't touch and don't like beeing handled that much they also have the claws and jaw power to tell you about it. awesome looking though i would love one in an outdoor setup.
Hi Nikki.( you little legend!!!). I think Blue Tongues are great not the most active lizards but don't seem to mind being handled and played with..
if mine is out he will sit on the back of my neck soaking up all my warmth
